Is There a Litmus Test to the Death Penalty?

i want to linger for a moment n on just what the church doctrine is in a church like westborough. How do you resist the move that many christian denominations make, is to disavow more or less everything in the old testament because it no longer applies? Why wasn't that move open to you and your family? And this person on twitter pointing out a contrailogical contradiction in your beliefs was an entering wedge for you,. which ultimately separated you from these ideas that hav been drummed into you.
